Question #20188

You have the following data: FCF0 = $10 million; FCF1 = $15 million; FCF2 = $20 million; FCF3 = $25 million; free cash flow grows at a rate of 5% for year 4 and beyond. The weighted average cost of capital is 15%. Assume they have 40 million in debt and 10 million shares outstanding. Find the price per share.

Present value of FCF0-3 is PV=FCF0+FCF1/(1+0.15)+FCF2/(1+0.15)^2+FCF3/(1+0.15)^3=54.6Then using formula for permanent growth we get value of all in flows which are expected to appear after FCF3 at moment of time t=3:PV3=FCF3/(0.15-0.05)=250. Than we discount it to the current time PV=PV3/(1+0.15)^3=164.4.Total value of all shares: TV=54.6+164.4-40=179PPS=179/10=17.9 $ per share.

I’ve used Assignment Expert twice now, and I’m a full fledged fan. This morning I had a crunching 7 hour deadline for a huge programming assignment I forgot was due, and turned to them for help. The estimate was affordable and easy to pay for through PayPal. Shortly after, an expert got to work on the problem at hand. The operator was in constant contact with me throughout the entire process, and everything went quickly and smoothly. After looking through the assignment, I was happy to find that everything ran very smoothly, and no shortcuts were taken/no requirements were omitted. I wish I could say more about this service. It’s truly a game changer and has saved my back more than once now.
